BOOM!
Suddenly, a clap of thunder cracked above Kyoto.
In an instant, the sky was filled with roiling dark clouds.
Rain poured down in sheets.
No, it was a torrential downpour!
The deluge fell upon the Fire Domain and was instantly vaporized.
Within the Fire Domain.
Shrill screams, piercingly sharp against the backdrop of the rain.
The screams came from eight women—the eight women who had blasphemed against the Empress's dignity.
Lady Liu, Lady Zhao, and the others—eight women who were usually insufferably arrogant—were now twisting and struggling madly within pillars of black flame.
Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng had acted too suddenly.
No one had expected it.
The Seven Great Family Heads had all arrived, only to be faced with such an outcome.
"Insolence!"
Finally, a roar filled with the fury of a Peak Emperor Realm Powerhouse shattered the curtain of rain.
Patriarch Chen of the Chen Family, Chen Xuanfeng—a man known for his sinister cruelty—could no longer hold back.
